Any particular reason that all of the screensteps provided by WPI for downloading programs is for windows only?

2017 docs that are showing up are same as previous years with only windows instructions.
I suspect it is because a majority of teams use Windows. If you're using Java, then there really isn't much difference between Windows and OSX anyways. However, if you're using C++, you would need to install the right compiler -- which I'm pretty sure is available, but I'm not 100% sure where the instructions to do so are.

I'll ask someone.
